A friend of mine got me interested in Shel's songs (for adults) and one of my favourites is the one about the lonely man who invents or gets a mechanical woman. Everything goes well for a while (the perfect woman, perfect housekeeper etc) but after that she starts getting more personality, and becomes less "perfect" in the man's estimation.

The line I like is:

"She never does what she's 'sposed-ter (supposed to) and now she's run off with the toaster"

Sorry to hear of his passing, and it is only here that I have found out about his other talents. Helen
